-We are building the NGI forum similarly to the MPI forum+We are in the process to establish the NGI Forum that curates the development of the APIs. 
-Driven by use-cases a standard is created and demonstrated in prototypes.+The process will share the idea with the successful MPI Forum
 +The approach is sketched in the figure below; 
 +members are experts from domain science, industry and data centers and form the bodies. 
 +The activity is led by the elected steering board. 
 +Topic-specific workgroups and committees develop the standard (data model and APIs) driven by relevant use-cases encompassing the span from workflows to code snippets. 
 +Ultimately, we will support the creation of reference implementation based on state-of-the-art technology that demonstrates the approach on the use-cases. 
 +We are aware that this endeavor is challenging; therefore, we don't expect that NGI 1.0 will include all features in the final version.

 +We expect that vendors and researchers will embrace the open ecosystem similarly to MPI and explore and contribute to the forum and its development.
